Perhaps that potential inference could be avoided by carrying out an investigation prior to removal?
That's not really the point, or an answer to the point. Byker hoped you had a good lawyer; you asked why because you thought you were just repeating an established sequence of factual events.
Byker's hope - as I assume you realised - was based on the view that you'd gone beyond the factual events and were attributing motive and conduct to the Clintons which was dishonest and unlawful - hence potentially your statement was defamatory of them, you might therefore need a lawyer etc.
The meaning to be taken from a statement you make now can't be changed by saying "but if things had gone differently in the past".
Tangentially, I also think there's a clear differentiation to be made between dishonest and unlawful. It appears in various arenas you can be as immoral as you like, it won't necessarily ultimately be deemed to be unlawful.
When the truth is they found jobs for 5 others fired and allowed one to resign when the travel was outsourced to save $200k, allegedly.
Now if you'd brought the story forward for discussion, that's fine, but you made distinct allegations.
